Question

The ratio of girls to boys in a school is 2:3, the relationship between the number of girls to the number of boys is proportional. How many boys are there if there are 345 students in the school?

Answer 1

Answer: 207

Explanation:

To find the number of boys in the school, we need to divide the ratio into the number 345.

To do this, there are a few steps to be followed:

1. Add up the parts of the ratio

2+3 = 5

2. Divide the number of students by the total number of parts

345/5 = 69

3. Multiply this answer by the number of parts we want (3 for boys)

69 x 3 = 207
